further advance in Coal; Lehigh and Chestnut is
now selling by the leading dealers at 90 %
ton, though one concern we are told sold for 7 so,
which is soc above the market price; Franklin is
quoted at 8 90. Some Of the coal dealers have a

A Genial Restorative,


Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are emphatically
genial restorative. The changes which this
great botanic remedy produces in the disordered
organization are always agreeably, though surely
progressive, never abrupt and violent. On this
account 1t is admirably adapted to persons of del
icate constitution and weak nerves, to whom the
powerful mineral drugs are positively injurious.
That it initiates those processes which result in
the re-estahlishment Of healthful yigor is con-
spicuously shownin cases where il is ia Ken to
overcome that fruitful cause of debility isdiges-
sion, coupled, il usually is with biliousness and
constipation. Thorough Digestion regular evacu-
alton and abundant secretion, are results which
promptly and invariably attend its systematic use

to ladies there the great value Of Mrs. Pinkham's

young lady of this city while bathing some years
ago was thrown violently against the life line
and the injuries received resulted in an ovarian
tumor which grew and enlarged until death
seemed certain. Her physician finally advised
her TO try Mrs. Pinkham's Compound. She did so
and in short time the tum0r was dissolved and
she is IN perfect health. also know of many

Horrible Torture.

CRY OF MEXICO March 9.-Recently,
near, Leon, three brothers named Mar
quez accused an old man named Juan
Hurtado, of stealing some jackasses.
Coming on him on the road, they
seized him and beat him in barbar-
Gus manner to secure confession. Re-
fusing to confess, they stripped him naked,
tied him to tree, and stuck His body
full of huasache thorns. They then
hung him up by the fingers until they pulled
his nails of, burned his feet and otherwise
horribly mutilated him, and then as he
still persisted innocence they took him to
the political chief Of Acordada, who shot
him dead. Superior authorities became
informed OF the matter and the whole of
the band, who fled to the woods, are being
hunted down.

THE STORY OF A WIG.
A Huge Joke EN- acted at the Expense Of
Wouid-Be Literary Woman.

n hugo joke Enacted &C tn0 ExpeWso Ofa
wouid-Bc Literary Woman.
The mention of Cambridge reminds
me, although the connection is not very
close, how party Of Americans were
taken through European tour last
summer by q professor living In that
classical town, from whom, It may be
we'll to state, did not hear this story.
In the party was one Mrs. A.. in sort
an authoress, who did not have the good
fortune to make herself popular with
her fellow travellers. One evening sew
cral of the company attended the thea
ter in Paris, and Mrs. A., conspicuous
ly arrayed with splcndor somewhat
more youthful than her years war;
ranted, rather rudely insisted in put
ting herself in the best place. Another
lady ventured mildly to protest that
Mrs. A. was taking up the room Of two,
and that she, personally, was very
poorly placed. but nothing was effected
by this remonstrance. Mrs. A., con-
conspicuous and triumphant, sat and
plumed herself in the box, until by
some dreadful chance she leaned too
far forward and down into the box be-
low went the wig with which she was
accustomed to cover her scanty locks.
The unhap py woman uttered shrek
and retreated to the back of the box,
where she 0vered her head with the
handkerchief and wept bitterly. Miss
B.. the lady who had shortly before
tried to induce Mrs. A. to be reasonable
in her claims on the space in the box,
now came gallantly to the rescue. She
suppressed her laughter and began u
mental review of her French, so that
by the end of the act she felt competent
to grapple with the situation in the
tongue of the land. Leaning over, she
managed by calls, coughs and more or
less Ineligible EXPLANATIONS. to attract
the attention of the gentlemen in the
box below. The wig had fallen back
of their chairs, so that it was some time
before the Frcnchmen could comprc-
hend what was the desire Of the bright
eyed American lady who, with her face
wickedly full of mischief. was address,
ing them from the box above. An un-
derstanding was at last arrived ut, how
ever, and with all the politeness and
grace of his nation one of the strangers
elevated the wig on the point of his
cane, and in the face of the whole
opera house it rose from one tier of
boxes to the other. The audience APP
plauded, the unfortunate owner of the
head-gea. noaned in the corner, while
with the air of Goddess of Liberty
who stoops to rescue nation from q
depth of slavery, Miss B. leaned over
and secured the truant tresses. Tho
incident is, of course, less funny in the
telling than it was in the acting. but it
may be Inferred that at least for few
days Mrs. A. was somewhat subdued.

loved Pastor.
BRooKLYN, March 11.--Plymouth Church
was crowded almost to suffocation to-day
by members of the dead Beecher's congre-
CATION and others who could gain entrance.
The services began at 1920. DR.. Halls
funeral address was most touching and
eloquent tribute to him no loved so we'll.
There seemed at times not to be q
dry eye in the vast audience. All
afternoon yesterday the long line Of
people passed through the church to view
the remains, and the rush was so great
that it was found necessary to increase
tho force around the church doors. Tho
throng was made up of almost all ma.
tionalities. AS the day advanced the line
OF people extended until it reached Fulton
street; then down one side of the next
block and up the other, with another wing
across Henry street. 1t was estimated
that nearly twenty thousand people passed
before the catnfalque during the day
There were SO many wreaths and bou.
quets left on the bier that q special place
had to be made near the platform at
the foot Of the pulpit to receive them.
Last night the Beecher residence was
brilliantly lighted, and everything around
the house was made as bright as possible.
Mrs. Beecher had been in her late hus-
bands room u great portion of the after
noon looking over his papers. 1t seems a
delight to her to be near whero her hus-
band spent much Of his time. The men,
bers Of the family wore dressed in bright
clothing, and every thing around was
made as light and cheerful as possible, in
accordance with the often expressed wish
of Mr.. Beecher in case Of his death

STRIKING sWITCHMEN
Cause q Coal Famine in the North
ern Part Of Ohio,
Besides Throwing Four Thousand Other
Men Out OF Employment.

CLEVELAND, o., March 11.--Thc strike Of
tho New York, Pennsylvania and ohio
switchmen was emphasized to-day by six
ty road brakemen who Joined therein.
This takes in only the Mahoning Di-
vision Of tho line. Ono hundred and
five railroad men are now out, but
the stoppage Of traffic has caused
coal famine, and many mills and
factories along tho route have been closed
in consequence. Fully four thousand men
are thrown out Of employment by the ac-
tion Of one hundred and five. No damage
TO property has yet been done, and the idle
men are orderly and not disposed to do
anything rash. The strike was caused
by reduction from three to two
brakemen on switching trains.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., March 11.-The rairond
strike Is spreading. Freight trains be-
tween here and Cleveland on the Sha-
ron branch have been abandoned.
No efforts are being made to move
trains in either the N. Y, P. IL o. or
Pennsylvania yards, the men on both lines
still standing firm. 1t is reported that
unless settlement is effected all the men
on tho main line will be called out Hotels
and boarding-house keepers were to-day
waited on by committee of railroad strik-
ers and asked to neither board nor lodge
scabs nor new men who may be employed.
Some agreements were made.
